Customer Reviews
Great Show!
I’m a big fan of the podcast and YouTube channel. Very few people are willing to say the “h-word” (hunting) on a backpacking podcast or channel but the overlap between the two is undeniable. Quality information and an entertaining delivery. Keep up the great work!
Refreshing
Thoughtful, interesting, nicely interactive with guests.
